Pride And Fall - Nephesh v2.0

2007-01-12 / apeiron / Reads: 6613

Due to the success of the Norwegian Pride and Fall's second LP ("Elements Of Silence"), their label decided to reissue their debut CD "Nephesh" with an extra "2" to mark the difference arising from the modified content. The seventh track on the reissued version is "Construct" substituting "Delusion". Additionally, we...

Lowe - My Song

The fact that the band Statemaschine – where Rick and Leo played - recorded too many good tracks was the immediate reason why the band LOWE was formed in 2002. They didn't want to loose the valuable material, so they started the new band. The duo Jörgen "Leo" Josefsson (vocal/guitar)...
